6 Local Craft Beers at Sammy’s To Be Excited About This Summer

Southern California is home to one of the most dynamic craft beer scenes on the planet. We are proud to call So Cal our home, and we honor our love for craft beer by having a menu with carefully selected local brews that we think you’ll really enjoy. Our in-house craft beer experts have curated a list of 6 craft brews at Sammy’s that you should be excited about this summer.

Cali’ Creamin’ – Mother Earth Brewing Co.

This craft brew is the brilliant nexus between dessert and alcohol. Cali’ Creamin’ has prominent notes of sweet vanilla and decadent cream—so you can enjoy a beverage that indulges all of your favorite vices. This is an easy to drink cream ale that has a medium body with a malted, sweet finish.

Blonde Ale – Saint Archer Brewing Company

Enjoy the taste of an authentic, German-style Kölsch, stateside with Saint Archer Blonde Ale. Similar to a Pilsner, this Blonde Ale has a clean, crisp malt character with Noble hops from Germany. This beer is brewed with real Belgian yeast, coriander and fresh orange peel for a bouquet of well-balanced, delicious flavor.

Sin Tax Imperial Peanut Butter Stout – Mother Earth Brewing Co.

If you’re looking for an innovative craft beer to sip on this summer then Sin Tax Imperial PB Stout is a must-try. Prepare your taste buds for a roasted malt brew that tastes as delicious as it smells. This stout has all the makings of a perfect dessert: notes of vanilla, peanut butter, cream and a hint of coffee.

Hop Head Red – Green Flash Brewing Company

Are you ready for a beer-venture? If so, we highly recommend Hop Head Red by Green Flash. Hop Head Red is a double IPA and red ale hybrid with a seductive floral aroma and wildly alluring Amarillo hop flavors. This is a bold and unapologetic ale, that will have you coming back for more.

Nut Brown – Alesmith Brewing Company

Nut Brown by Alesmith has a complex flavor profile that culminates in a well-executed and balanced English-style ale. This brew has notes of cocoa, sweet cream, roasted nuts and brown sugar.

Pear Cider – Anthem

Triple IPAs with whisky-like ABVs are not for everyone. If you prefer an adult beverage that is easier on the palate, we recommend Pear Cider by Anthem. It’s a refreshing hard cider for those that aren’t into super hoppy brews. Anthem uses whole-pressed Bosc and Anjou pears to make one of the juiciest and tastiest hard ciders out there.
